It would be crass of us to suggest that it was possible to define a genre simply as just African Music. No one genre can possibly encapsulate the rhythms and beats of a continent. But it is true enough to say that there are times where various African musical influences and flavours are definitely notable at Witch Hat Audio especially from Witch Hat Chris and Witch Hat Nic, both of whom spent time in Africa growing up (Chris in the East African countries and Nic growing up in Johannesburg, South Africa). So todays music post is taken from Nics childhood - Psalm 137 sung in @Zulu, gospel style. An English translation will be familiar to many of you: By the rivers of Babylon, where we sat down and cried. This particular version is sung by the world famous Soweto Gospel Choir who were brought to fame internationally through their collaborations with Paul Simon.
